<p>Queen Boudicea had knives on her chariot wheels. Perhaps some sort of machete attachment could be found/developed? 29er specific, obviously.

Very nice old Skule xc trail very high proportion of singletrack Loop2 has an even narrower profile than loop 1 and there was the odd bramble hanging over the trail to catch the unwary. My 760mm bars fitted through the bushes ok.

When it's dry it's wet.<br />
It's raining in North Wales now so wet.<br />
I have no idea about plants but would imagine after the influx of summer riders it shouldn't be too bad.

Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:49:52 +0000hughjengin5312452@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Looking for a venue for tomorrows ride, and have always enjoyed Pen, but a couple of our riding group rode there about 3 or 4 weeks ago and said it was so overgrown that it was borderline unrideable in places and certainly not a great deal of fun for that reason. Such a shame if Penmachno becomes extinct because in many ways it's a great (if not a little soggy) trail. Anyone ridden there in the last couple of weeks or last few days that can report if it's still a struggle ?
